I don't doubt it, but being intelligent is only a part of it, maybe a small part. There are also leadership skills, communication, vision, and just plain luck with being the right person for the time. I don't think anyone will say that Pres. Obama is not brilliant. Many people might argue about his goals, but I don't think that anyone could argue in good faith that he has failed spectacularly at bringing about the change that he promised. (not to pick on Democrats alone; GOP politicians have obviously failed every bit as much, even though some of them have brilliant minds as well)
